A CRP test is employed to identify or monitor inflammation in both acute and chronic conditions, which may include:

• Infections caused by bacteria or viruses
• Inflammatory bowel disease, encompassing disorders like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
• Autoimmune disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and vasculitis
• Lung diseases such as asthma

Your healthcare provider might utilize a CRP test to assess the effectiveness of treatments for chronic inflammation or to guide treatment decisions in cases of sepsis. Sepsis is an extreme and life-threatening response to an infection that has spread to the bloodstream, requiring urgent medical attention.

If you exhibit symptoms of a bacterial infection or there's suspicion of a chronic condition causing inflammation, your healthcare provider may suggest a CRP test. This test is also utilized to monitor individuals already diagnosed with an infection or a chronic inflammatory disease. Fluctuations in CRP levels correspond to the inflammation level in your body, and a decrease indicates successful treatment or natural healing.

The C-reactive protein (CRP) test is commonly used for various diagnostic purposes, including severe bacterial infections like sepsis, fungal infections, osteomyelitis (bone infection), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), certain forms of arthritis, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus), and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Providers also use CRP tests to monitor individuals’ post-surgery or other invasive procedures, aiming to detect infection during the recovery period.

It's essential to note that a CRP test alone cannot provide a definitive diagnosis or pinpoint the location of inflammation in your body. Therefore, healthcare providers typically order supplementary tests if CRP results indicate the presence of inflammation.

Your healthcare provider will inform you of any necessary preparations for a CRP test. In most cases, there is no need for any special preparation, such as fasting before the test.

During the CRP Test

Once the test is scheduled, a dedicated phlebotomist will be assigned to visit the specified location at the designated date and time for blood sample collection. The test is carried out with rigorous adherence to hygiene and safety protocols. Phlebotomists use disposable and sterilized gloves and needles, employing a vein finder device to identify the optimal vein for blood extraction, ensuring minimal discomfort.
